Hello and welcome to my thread you guys. Today i would like to help you guys out and to let you guys know "DON'T GO NEAR PAYPAL" They will scam you and all of TOA's bullshit and rubbish. They advertise that they are the safest way to sell or buy stuff online. That's a lie, they don't care about the disputes that the members open. They don't care if you are scammed. There staff members are useless they have like a 0/10 rating.

This is one of the disputes i had against another user i bought a supply of (45) 50$ US PSN Cards and i did not get those cards. And what he did was on the very last day when the dispute was going to end he put up a tracking number for a package that he shipped out to California where i lived. And so people instantly said he provided a tracking number that the dispute will end and will not be in my favor of a refund. And i contacted several times notifying them that he did not ship the package to me but someone else. And even on the ems-tracking.net it showed who the package was signed by. And i sent several emails to them saying i did get the package and he shipped it to someone else. All they responded with as "We see that you have filed a dispute against this transaction already and it did not end in your favor and the dispute will not be reopened"
So right there i was just scammed out of 1148$. I was very pissed off right then.



Then a the very same day at midnight they threw a limitation on to my Paypal account giving me no reason why i received the limitation in the email. I have contacted them several times and the reply is the same saying

1.You provided information that we believe was false, inaccurate, or
misleading; or

2.You sent or received money that was potentially related to fraudulent
activity; or

3. You have more than one account with a negative balance; or

4.You are in violation of the User Agreement, the Commercial Entity
Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, or another agreement you have with
PayPal.

I have read through all of there agreements and policies and i have not broken a single agreement.



I am not the only person that has been screwed over by them, there is tons of people that were scammed or had thousands of dollars in there paypal account and just for paypal to put a limitation on our money with out a really good reason. Is complete bullshit and we shouldn't take this crap, if they can't give us a good reason.

Have you called them, asked to speak to a supervisor when the representative can't give you info, and asked them directly for specific information?

I recently had a problem with paypal just this week.

Someone got a hold of my itunes account, which i had linked to my paypal...and bought about $200 worth of music/games.

I opened disputed with paypal and itunes, and through itunes I was able to get back about $160.  I still have a claim open with paypal for the last $40...im not sure whether or not its going to be returned..but I'm not terribly upset over $40, consider I could have lost a lot more.

Just for fun I've cracked my way into my friends' emails and it's easy to do for anyone who knows you with that security question. Once they're in they can change your iTunes passwords and mess up other stuff That's why I started using Google's 2-Step Verification and I feel extremely safe now. It seems like it would be a paid to do but it's really not.

They will be limiting your account in the near future, so don't keep that much money in there just in case bro.

[Techie]

[KatieC]

well it still says its being reviewed by paypal....i submitted it on nov. 23rd...and its december 4th.....they said "expect it to take up to 10 days"

not that doesn't have a reason if its longer than 10 days your most likely going to lose

[KatieC]

yeah.


on a bright note, cleared the limit on my account today..so hopefully that doesnt reverse.

[KatieC]

So the last charge was refunded to me today

Paypal account reinstated, itunes account enabled...and all of my money back

[Techie]

I'm glad to hear that everything was alright!

There was a story on Reddit recently where a person sold someone some old violin and the customer complained that it was fake, and PayPal told the customer to destroy the violin and provide picture proof so they could be refunded. The seller got nothing.
